Lighting automation

Automation is lighting that follows the building's day: on for the shift, down for the presentation, off when the last person leaves.

In offices, hotels, campuses and public buildings, automation saves energy and removes the daily dependence on staff finding the right switch. In performance spaces it makes the transitions reliable — house down, stage up, in one action.

What it covers

  • Time schedules for opening, occupancy and closing.
  • Occupancy and daylight sensing where it genuinely helps.
  • Scene triggers linked to the AV system — presentation mode dims the room and lowers the screen.
  • Integration with building management, where one exists.
  • Manual override that always works, because automation that cannot be overridden gets disabled.

Designed around the people

We set automation up around how the building is actually used, then review it after a few weeks in service and adjust — the first assumptions are rarely exactly right.
